Ten Hours 02:38
Someone told me I'd smile Somehow I hid Someone told them I was past that A lie that stuck I'm ten hours away From where I was before I'm ten hours wide Awake and rotten to the core I'm ten hours late From where I might have been I'm ten hours too far Someone told me I'd smile Somehow I did Something told me it was denial It was right Someone gave me a drink Out of sympathy Someone told them I was past that A lie that slipped I'm ten hours away From where I was before I'm ten hours wide Awake and rotten to the core I'm ten hours late From where I might have been I'm ten hours too far

Plucked 04:51
Been gone / Been gone Staring so far / Staring so far Bloodshot blue / Bloodshot blue Have seen too much / Have seen too much True to say / True to say Lives are company / Lives are company I sign myself to you / To me Now love blooms / Now love blooms Locked me down / Locked you down You're my gravity / I am gravity All the gods I owned / The gods you owned Fell at your feet / Fell at my feet I wait for calls / Wait for calls You never make / I always make You're flying over time / Flying every time Where love blooms / Where love blooms Dream of water / Dream of water Streaked with dye / Streaked with dye Plucked my wings / Plucked your wings From my sides / From your sides Let our love / Our love Set with sin / Set with sin Set in stone / Set in stone Love always wins / Love always wins

Haha Heroes 03:54
Stop talking to yourself Alright, let's ignore what I've seen You only listened when you were convinced I'd be dead from deprivation Of an audience, of attention A lack of rent and healthcare You never paid attention to the songs But cry about being a fan Heroes for all All martyrs on call Haha Heroes When you grew up did you know Your personality was from dead heroes You celebrate their mythology That they were condemned by their art You ignore the negatives To consume what you were sold You will never be more Than a costume spouting lies Heroes for all All martyrs on call Haha Heroes Don't tell me how to write Stop dressing like the dead decades Stop repeating what you read And be more than a repeat Your heroes are dead to me But not as dead as they are to you Died as artificial intellect And only past fans give a damn No heroes for all Haha Heroes

Dying in the wrong arms Dissociated in the wrong mind I'd like to love you every time But who you see is not where I am Store some tears in your safe Lock it in with your favourite numbers Next to the passport photos Blood was purer when it was borrowed So to the skin grafts Covering paw burns Thanks for hiding Until you feel the sunshine So to the veins The replaced and fixed I should have lost one arm To help prop up the statistics I'm still not dead I'm still not cured I'm never looking up They lose their wings to walk these shoes Feeling with the wrong arm The stove owns my fingerprints You keep the bandages I'll keep the scent Blood felt better in the air They stole it all so I cut right there Grin, what else can you do Living is the wrong art Breathing split me apart

2015 me said 'the result of writing and recording over two nights without a lot but mental & physical health concerns for company.' That is pretty fair, and while I enjoy the songwriting here a lot, this is the release I know is worst in my modern solo catalogue. Let's ignore the teenage bands and my very early 20s!

The lead vocals are quite bad on Ten Hours, and a bit off on Plucked, but it does show that 2016 was a year of a lot of hospital visits, illness, despair, and not quite knowing how to deal with those terrible things well as a musician quite yet.

On the upside the acoustic bonus versions and instrumental versions do show the songs at their best, and they're pretty nice!
